Apple’s 13-inch M2 MacBook Air sees clearance discount to $899 low (Save $200)

B&H is now clearing out Apple’s previous-generation 13-inch M2 MacBook Air. The newer M3 version was just revealed yesterday, and now we’re seeing an all-time low on the older version at $899 shipped in all four styles. This is $200 below its original price tag and that of the newer M3 counterpart. It’s matching the all-time low, too, and is the first time pricing has been this low since back over the holiday shopping season last year. Head below for more.

Apple’s latest M2 MacBook Air comes powered by its now previous-generation in-house chip and pairs with a refreshed form-factor. The 13-inch Liquid Retina Display sports a 500-nit brightness to complete the P3 wide color support and is complemented by a 1080p FaceTime camera with three-mic array and Spatial Audio-enabled speakers. Though the real highlight has to be the return of MagSafe charging, which makes the cut alongside other I/O like dual Thunderbolt ports.
